To be honest, I actually wonder how this movie did end up in my queue. That’s the issue with my movie watching, it’s so obsessive that I watch pretty much the most random sh*t you could think off and, as a result, I keep wasting my time watching such drivel… Anyway, even though it was actually surprisingly successful at the box-office when it was released, the damned thing was just so lame. Back in 2009, only a few months later, they would release also the very similar ‘Observe and Report’ which was a flop but, compared to this movie, it was almost a masterpiece though. Seriously, pretty much nothing worked here. Basically, most of the jokes were about the main character constantly driving with his Segway in the mall, about the guy being fat and usually being pretty stupid. However, none of this was actually entertaining whatsoever. Of course, there was a generic and predictable romance with a character played by Jayma Mays but she had like zero chemistry with Kevin James and they didn’t even try to explain why this woman could be attracted to this specific man. Finally, something had to happen to redeem this character, so, there was some heist taking place in his mall and, of course, he managed to take them down which was rather pathetic and, above all, not entertaining at all. At least, it was cool that some of the action scenes were taking place in the Rainforest Cafe because I remember going to one of those (I’m not sure which one, it could be Atlantic City or Las Vegas, maybe). It was also wild to get a glimpse of Steffiana De La Cruz, Kevin James’s wife for more than 20 years. Even if his movie was pretty much awful, I have to admit that the guy did get something right though. Anyway, to conclude, this movie was a huge waste of time and you should probably avoid it.
